The two brothers suddenly thought of the same thing; in the Moon Sea Secret Realm, among Jin Zhan's relics, there seemed to be a pile of "Six Realms Exchange" notes.

They couldn't quite remember the stamps on the notes, but the words "Six Realms Exchange" had left quite an impression. Their knowledge was limited, and they had only seen such words on these notes.

Now this black-faced general took out a new note, and they were uncertain if it was currency for transactions.

The notes in Jin Zhan's relics were supposed to be ancient currency, so what was the deal with the note in the black-faced general's hand?

The Four Great Continents within the Heavenly Court certainly didn't use such notes, and even if this was truly the Netherworld, it was sealed eight hundred years ago. Before it was sealed, this kind of ancient currency was likely out of circulation long ago. In an isolated Netherworld, what kind of ghostly exchange would happen with the Six Realms?

The concept of the Six Realms was something from ages past.

So the two were a bit confused about the whole situation.

Glancing at the value on the note in the other's hand, they saw the word "Ten Measures." Ancient currency used the unit "Measure," so based on the current understanding, the value of the note in the other person's hand should equate to ten Sandal Gold.

Thinking about the notes Jin Zhan left behind, one seemed to be worth a million measures, quite a big difference.

Wu Jinliang leaned close to Shi Chun, muttering, "Do we still have it?"

He was referring to the pile of ancient coins from Jin Zhan's relics, which had long lost their monetary value. He worried if Shi Chun had casually disposed of them.

However, Shi Chun hadn't; the Qiankun Bracelet's space is vast, and won't mind an extra box.

Shi Chun hid his hand within his sleeve, secretly casting a spell to enter the bracelet, found the box, opened it, pulled out a note, clamped it between two fingers, shook his sleeve to reveal it, and asked tentatively, "This one?"

Wu Jinliang immediately moved the Sandal Gold Flame Energy closer to the note, intentionally for the other to see more clearly.

The colors of the two sheets of paper in their hands were distinctly different; Shi Chun's had complex colorful patterns with a sense of encompassing all, while the notes in the other's hand were simpler, even slightly smaller in size.

Upon seeing the note, the black-faced general's gaze suddenly froze, his jaw dropped as if it wouldn't close, staring in disbelief.

What's going on? Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang exchanged glances once more, unable to understand the other's reaction. Could you just explain what's happening?

Simultaneously, Shi Chun had to split his focus on the bundle of golden threads he was magically grasping. After all, he didn't know how long he could forcefully manipulate the threads, but one fact was certain: the longer you wait, the more likely something goes wrong.

After a while, the black-faced general swallowed dryly, his voice slightly off-key, "This million-measure money is rare to find in circulation now. Are you two joking, trying to fool me with counterfeit money?"

Shi Chun didn't engage in a verbal debate, directly casting a spell, throwing the note over.

Anyway, he had plenty of them, so a note more or less didn't matter.

The black-faced general caught it in one swoop, flicked it around, cast a spell to let a faint green glow emerge, then sniffed it before his nose, stretched his tongue to lick it, and instantly his eyes gleamed, showing an uncontrollable excitement, his hand trembled, exclaiming, "Truly, it's a million measure money containing 'Measure'!"

What does it mean? Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang exchanged another look, barely understanding, filled with uncertainty internally; could it really be true? Jin Zhan's ancient coins were of use here?

Yet, they dared not easily expose their ignorance, being unfamiliar with the local situation, fearing exposing their ignorance would lead to trouble, especially regarding matters of money.

Moreover, if this truly was the sealed Netherworld, once it was exposed that someone could enter and exit the place, they could not bear the consequences.

Finally, the black-faced general steadied his nerves, suddenly holding that large denomination note up, with a look of reluctance, "I can't make change for this largest denomination money."

Largest denomination? The two brothers exchanged another shocked glance; Jin Zhan's ancient money truly had value?

Shi Chun reconfirmed, "Is this 'rule' still valid?"

The black-faced general's eyes gleamed with surprise, trying to ask, "Could you give it all to me?"

Shi Chun had many questions but dared not reveal too much, so he returned the conversation, "That depends on whether our friend understands the 'rules'."

The black-faced general quickly said, "Sure thing, the previous soul theft was just like this one, probably your handiwork, right? Rest assured, I'll report the losses above, and erase both incidents for you; as if they never happened."

Report losses? Erase it? Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang couldn't help but taste the meaning within his words, as they didn't understand the local market.

Seeing their silence, the black-faced general thought they were dissatisfied and felt a bit troubled, saying, "You've given quite a bit of money, but to completely erase the matter, I must make arrangements up and down. Or, if you truly need souls, I can let you take some more away?"

Shi Chun finally understood, it seemed this million held significant value; not only could it smooth over the matter, but also allow them to take away more souls. Though he didn't know how many 'some' referred to, he knew that in the outside world, a million sandal gold wouldn't necessarily let an Earth Immortal level expert violate rules like this.

At least this million caused an Earth Immortal level expert to show the demeanor of someone inexperienced.

"Heh heh heh heh..." Wu Jinliang also chuckled.

Once they figured out the gist, they realized the black-faced general was quite a character. Just moments ago, soul theft was deemed a grave crime against reincarnation, yet it could be resolved with money.

Shi Chun tried asking again, "Are you sure you can manage this affair?"

The black-faced general said, "Rest assured, the million 'Measure' here is enough for ten people to reincarnate well. Who wouldn't want themselves and their family to enter a good cycle? Brother, how many souls do you need? Quickly give a number, the sooner the better; dragging it will only cause unnecessary trouble."

Shi Chun glanced at the struggling golden threads in his hand, sensing they couldn't be consumed indefinitely, and immediately said, "No need, today it's just to make friends with you. May I ask your name, sir?"

The black-faced general hesitated but realizing it couldn't be hidden, especially since he received a lot, immediately cupped his hands and answered, "Lao Xi, and may I know who the two of you are..."

Before finishing his sentence, he realized the question was inappropriate; they're criminals, how could they report their names?

Shi Chun replied directly, "Wang Ping."

Wu Jinliang immediately knew what he should call himself and continued, "Gao He."

"Wang Ping, Gao He..." The black-faced general muttered a phrase, as if to remember it, but the gaze he directed at the two conveyed suspicion; he doubted whether the names reported by the criminals were true.

Shi Chun suddenly asked, "Forgotten what this place is called?"

The black-faced general was momentarily stunned but still replied, "Langdang River."

Shi Chun gave a short "Oh" and flipped his hand, tossing something over.

The black-faced general instinctively reached out to catch it, glanced at it, and saw it was half a Mother-child Talisman.

Shi Chun observed his casual reaction and knew the Mother-child Talisman could be used normally here, then said, "Brother Lao, if there's another chance for cooperation in the future, I'll contact you again. It might be me personally or someone else to negotiate with you, but you certainly won't be treated unfairly, I hope you won't refuse."

The black-faced general understood what the so-called 'won't be treated unfairly' meant, immediately chuckled and said, "As long as you understand the 'rules,' everything is negotiable."

He waved the Mother-child Talisman in his hand and took it on the spot.

Shi Chun said, "Then we'll withdraw first, I hope Brother Lao won't chase us anymore."

The black-faced general politely extended his hand, "Please go ahead."

Shi Chun immediately signaled Wu Jinliang, relinquished his mana suppression, and his figure was pulled back to the mountain by the large retracting bundle of golden thread.

At the cave entrance, he cast the Green Qi Circle to suppress the bundle of golden thread again, waiting for Wu Jinliang, who followed behind, to return and take the three-in-one magical treasure before pulling Wu Jinliang's arm to follow the large bundle of golden thread back into the black hole.

The two looked back, able to see the tunnel exit behind them vanish like Xubo.

After waiting a while, the black-faced general eventually flashed to the mountain to look around, but saw nothing; people had disappeared without a trace, yet he still stroked his full beard and muttered, "These two guys have quite heavy yang energy on them."

As he said this, he pulled out that large banknote again, looked at it, and became overly excited, eventually unable to resist kissing it a few times, pressed it to his chest, and murmured joyfully, "Made a fortune."

With difficulty, he restrained his emotions, looked around, and quickly flew away.

On the other side, Shi Chun shot out from the black hole, landed, and released the restriction on the bundle of golden thread. Together with Wu Jinliang, he looked up at the black hole above, seeing it vanish, and then looked at the Earth Wolf, whose body absorbed the dots of light and shivered back to life.

Wu Jinliang asked, "Was that the Netherworld?"

Shi Chun said, "It should be; they're not cultivating mortal world techniques."

Wu Jinliang laughed, "Regardless of who people are, they dare to directly demand bribes; what boldness, Chun Tian, seems like the Netherworld's rules are a bit chaotic."

Shi Chun said, "Let's talk about it when we go up."

"And that guy..." Wu Jinliang pointed at the Earth Wolf, which had come back to life and was growling hostilely.

"Already abnormal, ignore it, let's go." Shi Chun didn't care about such life or death, but the resurrected corpse was indeed abnormal.

Having made the mistake of kicking it to death last time, Wu Jinliang just asked if it was of any use, and since it wasn't, he ignored it, directly using the Earth Escape Technique to take Shi Chun away, burying the Earth Wolf alive beneath the ground.

Emerging again on the surface, seeing daylight, Wu Jinliang stretched his arms and took a deep breath, feeling somewhat as if he'd awoken from a dream, not expecting to suddenly visit the Netherworld.

Shi Chun thought for a moment and then took out the Mother-child Talisman to summon Chu Jingtang and Lao Changtai.

When the two arrived and didn't see Xiao Sheng, Chu Jingtang asked, "Where's Old Xiao?"

Shi Chun said, "Ignore him, there's a pressing matter that requires both of you to handle, do you dare to go?"

Chu Jingtang couldn't stop himself from sighing, "We've done plenty of head-rolling tasks, so speak, where's this adventure taking us now?"

He was just short of saying he'd already grown accustomed to it.

Shi Chun calmly uttered two words, "The Netherworld!"

Wu Jinliang, admiring the splendid landscape, turned around in shock, what was going on, was the Master sending the two to the Netherworld?

"..." Chu Jingtang and Lao Changtai were startled, instinctively stepped back defensively.

Lao Changtai tensed up and said, "Master, this joke isn't funny, we haven't done anything to betray you, right?"

Chu Jingtang also nervously said, "Master, is there some misunderstanding?"

It's fake to say they weren't scared, they knew they weren't a match if it came to fighting.

Seeing their reaction, it was clear they misunderstood, Wu Jinliang couldn't help but laugh holding his head, but he could understand; nowadays the Netherworld was indeed a dead end, only the dead could go.

Shi Chun smiled, "You overthought it, not sending you to die, but I can open a path to send you over. Jinliang and I just went over. Now we need people to mingle there, to help us understand the situation there; it feels like a place where money gets things done, I'll give you money, and you might inquire about some local practices, for instance, hire experts to help fight, see how much it costs."

"Uh..." Wu Jinliang made a strange sound from his throat, turning his head to stare at Shi Chun, like looking at a monster, spending money to hire someone to fight?

He now somewhat understood Shi Chun's previous reason for leaving contact information with the black-faced general.
